Overview
In this cooking class, you will learn how to prepare some traditional Italian dishes that are originally vegan.
Alternatively, I will guide you through the process of turning some traditional Italian recipes into a delectable vegan creation.
Don’t miss this chance to try some amazing Italian vegan cuisine, here some examples of what you will prepare, depending on the seasonality:
- caponata, a Sicilian dish based on eggplant and tomatoes
- ribollita, a Tuscan soup based on cabbage, potatoes, and beans
- risotto with mushrooms or any vegetable in season
- pasta with broccoli
- biancomangiare, a Sicilian dessert based on almonds
We will use seasonal, organic, locally sourced ingredients.
I speak Italian, English, and French, if guests speak different languages, then English will be used.
